    I used stonehenge fabric with the pattern Labyrinth by Calico Carriage Quilt Designs. It is the most beautiful quilt I have ever made!

    I think you would probably end up with a blended quilt look, but those are really quite nice. Give it a try.

    I agree you need to be sure to do the dark/med/light or the pattern will be lost but you have great fabric to do that.

    It would make a beautiful scrappy - one of my friends used these fabrics for a YBR - yellow brick road - used the burgundy for a 1/4 " frame and scrappy border. I love all the Stonehenge colors.

    Love this pattern and I think the fabrics would do great in it.

    I think it could be a stunner. Looking forward to your pictures on this (smile).

    I think it would look great. I'd just make sure to use colors that have a good contrast. You don't want the fabrics to blend together.

    Looks to me like it would be gorgeous in the fabrics you have pictured. If you make it please post a picture as I would love to see it.
